You say you want logic and you use Eccles. for your logic that it still holds true today. Let try Eccles. 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. If you believe this is true for today you better log of quick before someone call you on it, being as they didn’t have computers back then; no new thing under the sun. If all the dead are unaware of their surroundings, as you claim, I suppose you think Jesus made a mistake with what he said in Luke or do you just pick and chose the verses that fit your agenda? Luke 16:19-31 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Well one did rise from the dead and it was Jesus and while we are at it do you believe that Jesus is God? CDBJ |

Just for starters a proper name is never given in a parable, i.e. Luke 16:19-31 The fallacious doctrine of soul sleep has been highly debated on this forum and all of its advocates have either fallen asleep or stepped out of the picture because they were not able to cope with the myriad of Scriptures that that refute their thesis. Type the words “soul sleep” in the search screen on the upper right section of the home screen and it will eliminate a lot of wasted effort and if you cease from your paradigm paralysis you might see the scope of Psalm 119:160 The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Hi EdB, I think what we are trying to point out in this line of post is like talking to a brick wall they aren't hearing a thing the Bible says. Some people can’t unwrinkle their brow long enough to let a thought through. They know one verse of Scripture and even though ten others refute their way of thinking on a particular subject they can’t see it. 2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: It would appear that the first word in 2 Tim. 3:16, to them, should read “SOME” instead of all?

Hi Rowdy, What make you think that Satan had anything to do with anything connected with the Holiness of God; in you statement, “it would be enough for the Devil to keep Him there forever.” The devil has nothing to do with the perfect plan of God and he has nothing to do with hell or the lake of fire other then the fact that he will suffer there like all the rest that don’t fear God! Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: God is the master over hell and the lake of fire, Satan is in charge of nothing but will suffer the same punishment. He will be no better then any unbeliever outside of Christ, he is a nothing and a nobody and doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with God and it's his choice!!!!!!!!!!! CDBJ |

486 | Cup Passed? | Bible general Archive 2 | CDBJ | 118104 | ||
Isn't it rather obvious? Your question that is, "Why Jesus prayed for the cup to be passed from him?" What if you knew every excruciating little detail, as Christ did, beforehand and you had to go through all of the torture and suffering that Christ went through and the humiliation and pain of being crucified and knew on top of all this that God was going to punish you for all the sins of mankind from Adam to the end of time, wouldn’t that make you a little nervous and apprehensive, remember Jesus was also a man! That was the hardest thing ever accomplished by a man and even Christ didn't know what to expect, pain wise, when God poured out His wrath on him! I question your even asking! The movie, The Passion, couldn’t go into the details as to what it was like to be separated from God as Christ was but we are all reminded that everything up to the sixth hour when there was darkness didn’t cause him to cry out; It wasn’t until God forsook him that he screamed at the ninth hour! The only ones that will experience what Jesus suffered are those that won’t trust in God’s Son, and they will get a first hand feeling as to why Jesus said, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Hi Rowdy, You made this statement in your post, NOT me! “going to Hell” “If Christ was guilty of just one single impure thought for just a fleeting moment, it would be enough for the Devil to keep Him there forever.” I am saying that the devil doesn’t keep anybody anyplace! What I was trying to point out is the fact that Satan doesn’t control anything in hell and he has no power in hell or the lake of fire, as many falsely assume. Right now those that have died in Christ would have a better chance of seeing Satan in heaven then those that died outside of Christ and are in the place of torments. Figure that one out, and if you can’t I will back it up with Scripture! Many can only visualize Satan, or the devil, as a figure with a red epidermis, a set of horns and a tail and carrying around a trident or pitchfork and screaming out cruel orders to those that are burning. In fact nothing could be further from the truth. Satan was the most beautiful creature that God ever created and most wouldn’t know him even if he were to talk to them. I would imagine that Satan loves his present picture of deception because no one can spot him as he really is! If Satan was ever portrayed as he really is all the woman would probably swoon over him! Have a nice day CDBJ |

Hi Rowdy, I wish you weren’t quit so rowdy with me since I am feeling so bad these days! I actually have a sever case of the vapors with a plugged mud vent. My psychiatrist has been trying to inform me that my anger management classes where no longer needed and now you are telling me that I must be in relapse! Oh what to do, what to do!!! The only one who really knows me on the forum is Hank and that’s because he is suffering from the same malady, we are both practical jokers. All kidding aside, maybe! The word Satan comes to us from the Hebrew word satan, pronounced “saw-tawn” and carries the connotation of an opponent. The word in the Greek, Satan, stems from the Chaldee, Satanas and means the accuser. Cutting to the chase, we see that Satan is constantly making accusation about believers as an accusing attorney before God, and that is how believers might have a chance to actually view Satan in action, after the believers are in heaven. Rev. 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Satan won’t be bared from heaven until the mid point of the time know as Jacob’s trouble or what we call the last 3 ½ years of the great tribulation. Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. This will be the signal to Satan that he is in his last years of carrying out his chain of command and rule over the earth. 2 Cor. 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Satan has a chain of command that he uses to rule the world and he is not torturing people in the place we call hell nor is he greeting them at the door with open arms, as it were with his nasty horn and big red suit. Ephes. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The word in the English, principalities is translated from the Koine Greek word, ARCHE and it means rank, just like we have in the military with Satan being the commander and chief of them all. Sorry I mislead you with my nasty post but I like to pull people chains once and a while. Ha Ha! 2 Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Gave a great day and relax, I’ve read the end of the Book and we win, CDBJ |

Hi Hank, I have been anything but forthcoming with regard to any post that you might have made lately but now my stitches seem to be pretty well on the mend now so I just might venture out into a little deeper water! In posting to Rowdy that other day, and the mention of Satan as an accusing attorney, I neglected to mention that 99 percent of all the attorneys give the other 1 percent a bad name! That isn’t biblical but I believe it’s factual. CDBJ |

Well, in what I will call a forum nutshell here is you answer, and I probably won’t regret it until you respond back to me, maybe! The reason that I commented on your salutation was because it was the only part of your question that wasn’t contrary to Scripture. If possibly your method of being in Christ happened to follow the same lines as your question then there would be another issue that should be addressed which would take precedence over answering your question directly. Reason, 1 Cor. 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. I don’t ever remember posting with you on the forum and I was trying to feel you out, as it were. Your statement was, and I quote, “As a christian,which of the following will earn more points?” The direct answer to your question, without selecting either of the limited choices that you suggest, 1 or 2 would be in, Koine English, as follows. God is only impressed with the work that His Son, Jesus Christ, did for us on the cross. Anything that we try to do to impress the Holiness of God is a slap in the face to His righteousness. Be it a Christian or anyone else for that matter we are under the grace provision of God and can’t really earn points as it were with God. The first taste of this would be when one puts all of his hope for eternal life in the person of Jesus, God’s Son. Col. 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Those in Christ, who have received Him by grace through faith, are to continue this same pattern through out their Christian life, or walk, knowing that they can’t earn or deserve anything from God on the basis of what they do. Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. That kind of puts the kibosh on the point system if you get my drift. 2 Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. With a point system the only one that is impressed is the one cranking out the points not a Holy God!!!!!!! Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi FytRobert, For crying out loud get off of the pity party and relax a little bit; I didn’t present the post with the idea that you would go outside and chop your head off. I have been a Christian about 40 years now and you wouldn’t believe some of the hundreds of stories I have heard with regards to being a Christian. I could present my gentle little loving stories, which wouldn’t amount to a hill of beans, or I can give you the truth of the word of God, chapter and verse, which you can either accept or reject. Sugar coating something might make it more palatable but experience has taught me that the only one who profits is the one who goes directly to God’s word and check out the verses in context for them selves. Every thing that people do or say that adds to Scripture, to make it taste better, take that part with a grain of salt; do a lot of studying to make sure what the say is factual. I guess I am getting to old to be a gushy maudlin sentimentalist! God’s word does it’s work in spite of my short comings. Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Relax a little and don’t let me bend you out of shape, CDBJ |

Yes you are correct, the later part of verse 26 and all of verse 27 are yet future events for all in this day and age. Note the comparisons in the following verses. Isaiah 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Isaiah 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. Matthew 24:6-13 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 2 Thes. 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Hi justme, I have to agree with you in part, I guess I’m not Rebecca from Sunny Brook Farm. Sometimes I come across too harsh with my responses and the way I try to convey things. I should probably cash it in because you are the third person in the last Month that has told me this. I think I am starting to do more harm then good! It sounds like I am becoming as the following. 1 Cor. 13:1-2 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

Hi EdB, I was listening to a testimony, many years ago, of a man who claimed to be a thief a swindler and one of very bad character before he was saved when he had finished a friend leaned over to me and said, “ Wow, I hope he doesn’t backslide, I think I’ll keep my doors locked” I love a sense humor; I think he was kidding, CDBJ |

Hi EdB, That would be his loss and your gain! Philip. 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. The nice part is that we are in the Lords hands and if He didn’t want it to happen the guy couldn’t lay a hand on you!! Here is a promise that believers in combat areas need to claim. Psalm 91:1-7 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. It’s like I have told many, I don't mind death, it's dying that I'm not looking forward to! The Lord will provide dying grace to all of His at the proper time. There have been times when I have been put to sleep, just before an operation, and I was thinking how great it would be just to wake up face to face with the Lord. It sure didn't make my wife feel so good though when I told her what I was thinking. I guess that would be kind of selfish but the Lord has it all planed out anyway. Eccles. 3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; Job 5:26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Have a great day, CDBJ |

I think when the Lord is through using us down here that He takes us home. Sometimes more people are reached through our passing then our living! Wow, that's really something about your dad!!! My parents both died young, by today’s standards, my mother was 48 and my dad was 54 and I don’t know if either one of them knew the Lord personally. I was saved only two moths before my dad died of a heart attack and I didn’t know enough Bible doctrine to do anything but muddy up the water, but I’m sure he saw the change in my life. I was in the big do and don’t stage, of Christian youth, and I think I was super obnoxious with everyone that I came in contact with. I had a guy tell me one time that if I was right he didn’t want to be, and it almost made me cry. I though that when I would tell people about what I had found in Jesus that they would all want to believe; after all, how could it get any better? I still get over zealous about the Lord when I get cranked up, CDBJ |

Hi Brad, I have found out over the years that one has to win the opportunity to talk to others about Christ and God uses prepared people. 1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: I think the word fear, PHOBOS in the Koine Greek, means be careful that you present strictly the truth of God’s word, and be careful that you don’t muddy up the water by being too pushy! It’s the work of the Holy Spirit that causes God’s word to take root and grow in the good ground we can only sow the seed and water it a little with TLC. CDBJ |

Hi Edb, I agree 100 per. People have to actually see that we are different, due to being new creatures in Christ, and want what we have, to the point that they ask questions. I am always dropping settle hints to try and get the conversation going in the right direction. When one glows, it shows, and we are all supposed to let our light shine. Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. The only way they, as unbelievers, can glorify God the Father is by first believing in the Son. Remember the kid’s song, This little Light Of Mine? Christ wants to shin through us, CDBJ |
